Description:

Richard Holden | Alan Kohler

Australia, a land of sweeping plains, has one of the lowest population densities on the planet. So, how did we end up with a housing shortage? 

In conversation with economist and author Richard Holden, veteran finance journalist Alan Kohler’s new Quarterly EssayThe Great Divide: Australia’s Housing Crisis and How to Fix It, investigates where things went wrong at the start of the 21st century with escalating property prices leading to a rental crisis, a dearth of public housing and a mortgage crunch.  

This event is presented by the Sydney Writers' Festival and supported by UNSW Sydney.
